Visualisations of autism

My name Is Michelle and I am a student at the University of Gloucestershire, studying Illustration. My project I am doing is focusing on six different disorders/ illness's (such as autism, depression, anxiety ADHD, Bipolar and tourettes) I am focusing on autism at the moment and would greatly appreciate any help any of you can give me. I personally was born with Aspergus syndrome, so I am sympathetic to people out there like me.

Its quite hard finding people with autism to help me with this project but I was hoping some of you could. What I need is for maybe two or three of you to individually tell me what autism would be like as a creature and I'll draw it. What you picture it as. Then I will bring it back to here and show you if possible and ask if that's what you meant. I will keep doing it until you are happy with it. I can even put fake names on the research project if you are uncomfortable with having your real name or screen name shown. 

Someone please help me ^_^ thanks so much. Michelle

    intresting... any particular reason why a hedeghog? do you feel like it relates to you in any way?

    It's just what popped into my head, as things sometimes do randomly.  Not to represent me but rather autism, I guess being kinda harmless but a bit prickly.

    And I'm in Oxford* but I didn't grow up here.

    * thingy about posting personal information notwithstanding, I've always been too lazy to "do" online privacy.
